Tilleczek) Toronto-based recording artist Tafari (pronounced Ta-far-eye) Anthony’s latest single, “Live In A Dream,” shares a message of empowerment as the search for personal contentment churns within all of us. Influenced by artists like Prince and John Legend, as well as contemporary artists like Lennon Stella and Charlie Puth, Tafari has been described as a blend of Sam Smith and MNEK. His music has been nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award, receives regular airplay on CBC Radio, with one of his singles being named one of CBC’s Most Influential Songs of 2016. Tafari wrote ‘Live in a Dream‘ in January of 2018, as he took time off to focus on writing and explore new facets of his personal soundscape. “I was in a very reflective space at the time and thinking a lot about how much I was obsessing about other’s successes compared to mine,” shares the artist. “To the point where I really was feeling like I was working so hard and no matter what good would come my way it wasn’t good enough.” The inspiring new single encourages others to dream like we used to when we were children – dream despite the obstacles, setbacks, and alternate routes that try to stop us.
Fight for what you want, take back your power, and find contentment in your current situation.
Musically, Tafari’s powerhouse vocals are framed in a sonic soundscape featuring elements of pop, reggae, and Afro-beat. The result is a totally infectious earworm. Hit the play button below. You can follow Tafari Anthony on Instagram here and Facebook here.
